Yes, I have thought about this. There may be always the possibility
that, by skipping the unit test on a given architecture, bugs are not
exposed and we ship a buggy package. A possible better solution would be
to add a progress meter for each test, but this means changing the
upstream code. I must confess that I took the easiest road to fix the
problem.
At any rate, I just checked the build logs and it still FTBFS, but I
cannot understand the reason. Also, there are other problems with the
unit tests, as well. I hope I will have time to get to this before the
hard freeze deadline.
